This is what the process looks like now - (it will evolve some more no doubt).
First it grabs only the main headers. Then it tries to remove a (m$) quoted
message below the body
and prints only the first 24 lines of whatever results.
It then uses write(1) to send the output to a virtual terminal. The next
command calls
screen and changes the lower screen to the one where the mail is written.
Saves me fumbling around with MUAs a lot of the time.

This looks interesting, however it isn't clear to me what you're
trying to do - generate an abstract of the message for a log or
biff-like announcement? Is MAIL_TAIL a file - if so don't you need
lockfiles for it? Don't you need global lockfiles around the whole
expression, to guarantee each entry in MAIL_TAIL refers to just one
message?

None of the recipes enumerated above appear to be filtering recipes -
why would the "f" flag be useful? In terms of making the the last two
recipes sequential I think simply putting lockfiles on the recipes
would suffice, ie :0c: instead of :0, and you would need global
lockfiles around the whole expression.

Okay, now I'm definitely confused...
